Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the architectural history of California's Missions, structures built by Franciscan padres as they established outposts in the wilderness. The author begins by tracing the period of exploration and colonization, noting the influence of Junipero Serra, an ardent Franciscan and pioneer responsible for the foundation of nine missions. The author goes on to describe the Missions' physical attributes, from their spacious patios and long cloisters to their elaborate churches, all built with a simplicity that approaches the severity of early Roman architecture. The author emphasizes the significance of these Mission buildings, despite their crude details and imperfections, as expressions of the Franciscan love of architecture. Moreover, the author highlights their resilience amidst earthquakes and their role in the spread of Christianity and civilization in California. Richly illustrated with images, this book offers a captivating exploration of the historical and architectural importance of California's Missions.
